    Bad, old, tasteless popcorn, from a canister.
    Jay Ef Jai ..

    I wanted some popcorn from here for movie night at the house. Usually, I just get popcorn from the theatre and bring it home but they are all closed due to COVID. I walk in and it is an hour before they close. Ordered some buttered popcorn. The employee working here went into a large canister, scooped up my medium popcorn out of a canister, and gave it to me. I looked around the place and there was no fresh popcorn in ANY of the popcorn makers. Needless to say, the popcorn given to me was not fresh, not hot, no fresh butter applied to it and tasted old. So I ask: How long has the popcorn been in the canister? How long is it kept in the canister? Do you EVER pop any fresh popcorn? My miracle occurred over this past weekend: movie theaters are back opened this Friday!!! I can't wait because this place gave me popcorn out of a canister... Wells Street, for some popcorn, I rather go down the street, through the woods, make a left at the crossroads and go "Up Around The Bend" sung by Creedence Clearwater Revival

    Wells Street Popcorn is pretty good. I ordered a medium size Chicago style popcorn. Their prices are affordable and the medium size bag was larger than I expected for about $7! Chicago Style Popcorn- The caramel was great; the cheese popcorn flavor was good but it was very stale. I will try again and I hope the popcorn will be fresh!

    I love Cheddar Cheese! This is simply the BEST! The Popcorn itself is tender and always fresh! And did I say CHEESY!

    Love the popcorn! It's got a ton of flavor, with the caramel, cheese, and butter ones being the family favorites. Excellent snack!

    Closed by 8:05pm on a Friday Night during the car show. Yelp says they are open until 9:00pm. Unlikely to come back.

    OMG - the caramel corn is fantastic. It is pricey, but the taste was fresh and buttery sweet, and it was worth the splurge!

    Sometimes you get Caramel corn at other places and it tastes a little burnt-ish but here it tastes great.

Beyond the outstanding customer service, the shop itself is charming and beautifully curated. From exceptional olive oils and balsamics to spices, gourmet foods, and hot chocolate mixes, there's always something new to discover. Michelle is incredibly knowledgeable and loves sharing recipe ideas and pairing suggestions, and I appreciate that you can sample many of the products before buying. There are so many different olive oil and balsamics that it can be hard to choose, but I love that Michelle often has samples prepared of interesting ways to use the unique flavors. My husband and I have visited several times, and every visit has been warm and welcoming. If you're looking for high-quality products and genuinely exceptional service, I can't recommend Olive 'n Vinnie's enough!

What really sold me is the outstanding customer service only second to the verity of products the shop stocks. What great experience! The new owners, Michelle and her husband, since January 1st, 2026 will gain your respect and you will continue to patronize this shop. The store is jammed packed with infused olive oils and accompanied items. It does make it a bit difficult to navigate in a wheelchair and browse even tho they have a wheelchair ramp inviting the mobility challenge into an array of wonderful smells. Don't let this deter you. Michelle made note and said she will work on modifications to floor plan for inclusion of this demographic. This is why you shop a small business over a big box store.

    Bottom Line: A real deal butcher shop for the unabashed, real deal meat lover. Top quality, fresh…read moremeat but do not expect cheap meat. This is not what you may remember as your Mom's or Grandmother's butcher shop. In my view they are a specialty shop providing premium quality at premium prices. The store is tucked in the corner of a small shopping center and parking can be a challenge on a Saturday. It is clean and bright. I am glad to see though, that there are still artisans with a commitment to quality, and craftsmanship in a trade--AI, thankfully, has no place here in delivering fresh, luxurious cuts of beef, pork and other fine meat either pre-cut or carved to your specifications. I have not been here before so I decided to give them a try starting with several, precut NY Strip steaks and several burger patties to prepare on the grill. The service is polite and professional--not a lot of time for chit-chatting with your butcher like I remember my Grandmother doing. There were several customers waiting in the small shop so I did not feel comfortable trying to dive into the particulars of the meat sourced so I just went with it. The steaks were fairly large cuts, just over one inch thick, and with what struck me as medium marbleization. The USDA grade was not posted on the price tags (that I saw). I decided to see if I could get away with a reverse sear on the steaks and it worked out pretty well though I kept the precook at a lower temperature than I normally would with a thicker cut for fear of over cooking them before I got them to the grill. That worked out well, getting them off the grill at medium doneness. The steaks were reasonably tender, juicy, with, as hoped, a luscious, beefy umami and enjoyed by my guests. I paired everything with a nice Côt which was just perfect. I decided to try the burgers on the griddle top, done to medium, and they were flavorful and juicy. I have to say I was satisfied with the quality and did not feel taken to the cleaners at almost $30 a pound for the steaks though I am not sure this will be a weekly stop (that price point was one of the lower ones in the shop). I will, however, come back for those times I am having special guests or family for those special occasions and will likely update then.
